    I have been using Rouge de Bordeaux in most of my breads lately . Mixed with rye in boules, added to pita, pain de campagne, anywhere I can , really . It adds a real earthy rich flavor and the crust is a lovely golden brown too. Love it . 😍

    The texture from the milling of this WW rouge de Bordeaux is wonderfully silky. Lots of flavor and great color. I pushed the envelope to see what I could achieve using only this WW and nothing else for a couple sourdough loaves at 95% hydration and was able to achieve sufficient strength, both surprisingly elastic and extensible considering it is an unsifted flour. With a little bit of careful development (but not over-working) and attention to temperature and building tension it functions well by itself. I might dial it back somewhat next time and do a blend but what can I say? It’s an excellent zero extraction whole wheat bread flour and perhaps even better as a component in partly ww breads.
